Mr Brews Taphouse Appleton/Darboy

They served flat beer. At a Taphouse. Food was mediocre at best. Used to be a great place. Not anymore.

I’ve been going here since the old location. I usually get Heather and Papito around the times I go. Food is always quick, conversations great and always jokes to be had. My favorite burger (the only one I get and made into a turkey version) the raging Cajun is no longer on the menu, but they know that’s my same order with a side of Cajun/BBQ fries. The other servers I’ve had over the last couple summers as well have all been great as well. Cheers!

Food was amazing cooked to perfection. All the servers were phenomenal but one in particular stood out to me, Papito Mayer. He made great conversation and brought my food as soon as it came out. In conclusion, I would recommend Mr. Brews to anybody due to is amazing atmosphere, phenomal servers, and perfectly cooked and prepared food.

Been here a few times for lunch, food has always been good but the service has gotten substantially worse. This visit we stopped for lunch on a weekday. Noticed 2 people at a table inside and a few outside. We sat at the bar. Eventually a male server said he would be with us in a few minutes. There was one male server handling the tables inside and out as well as the bar service. We assumed he was new, so we waited until he got to us. Once our food order was taken, it arrived quickly but as a few more guests arrived, they waited a long time for any service. One female was also working, i assume maybe the manager. She seemed to be in the back most of the time, even though the other guy was pretty busy. People at the bar waited an extremely long time for service. Also noticed one guy show up at the bar, assuming he is known to them, since they spent alot of time chatting with him about friends and family, while orders were waiting to be taken out (you can hear the service bell easily throughout the bar) and those of us also sitting at the bar, waited for service and refills. It took a while to get our bill, which was basically the waiter telling us, your total is $xx and taking our credit card. then handing us the handheld machine to add a tip, which they list as a minimum of 18%. No actual bill is ever seen and even though we asked for a printed receipt, we never received one. Very disappointing overall, especially since other times we have been there it was much better. Seems like a turnover in management and staff has really impacted the service.

I'm not the one to complain, I usually don't, I usually just let things go. But this was a bit much. The Nozzle to the marshmellow fluff from my brownie was in the fluff. Brownie, Nozzle, then fluff. Luckily it was plastic so I didn't break my teeth. It literally looked like someone dropped it on the brownie and then covered it up with more marshmallow like it was a prize in cereal box. The food is good but I can't order from here again.

Good food, friendly employees, scenic location and reasonable prices.

Good service the last couple times. Papito was helpful this time and I will be back.

That being said, I'm still very upset that the shoestring fries were removed from the menu. You should probably reverse course on that, because those were great and your current fries are nothing special. No offense, but I think you got that one wrong

First time there, only complaint is they sat my friend and me at a very small high top table, definitely not enough room for food and drinks. One of my drinks got spilled because the table was so crowded lol. Otherwise the food was great, we both had burger bowls. Fries and pickle chips were also very good. Friendly and attentive waitress, great beer selection.

Great food!! Nice area to sit outside. Awesome selection of tap beer.

The atmosphere seemed fun and upbeat.

Food: I ordered Philly steak and cheese, which had a minimal amount of meat. Instead of Swiss cheese, it was covered with Swiss cheese sauce. There were very few onions. The taste was adequate. Another member of our party ordered a Caesar salad. She was served a bowl of iceberg lettuce with croutons. There was Caesar dressing in a cup on the side. The chips, while tasty, were undercooked. The cheese curds were amazing! The rest of our 6 person party ordered hamburgers. The hamburgers were good, but not spectacular.

Service: Our server was a little abrupt, maybe even abrasive. She was dissatisfied that we weren’t ready with our drink order immediately. She was not very cheery or kind. We recognize there may be short staffing issues and we had no problem with being patient, so we were surprised that she seemed so frustrated with our party.

Food is really pretty good, but it’s unfortunate to nickel and dime customers for condiments with the chippers. Almost $2 for two half full ranch cups is ridiculous. The chips should come with at least one dip. Also, overheard a waitress trying to bribe customers with free beverage for a good review…talking ill of other customers does not make for a pleasant eating environment. Probably will not return.

I love this place. The beer selection is always awesome but the food and menu are average. Service is always great!

Stopped by this location tonight in the evening. I expected to have some decent bar food. I wasn't expecting food better than many of the other typical sit down restaurants in the Appleton area. My husband had the fish tacos, some tap beers and a salad. He misunderstood and ordered a regular house salad instead of a side salad. The waitress attempted to clarify but he got the regular salad with grilled chicken. I ordered the bruschetta flatbread. All were very good. So often these days dinner salads are not appealing looking when they come out. His was very fresh and definitely could be a meal in itself. There are several other selections we want to try and plan to visit in the near future! Waitress and staff friendly. Sitting on the porch was nice.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu is decently prices and a great value.
